Hello Friends,
Swell has dropped from an 8 metre peak yesterday morning to about 3 metres this morning. Average period is about 10 seconds and the direction is now SE, so there could be a few more options around this morning.
I checked the Dee Why to No Man’s and Collaroy-Narrabeen stretches around 0830 and can report that wave faces at Dee Why are now into the 6-8 foot range. The bombs are a bit bigger and the beachy didn’t have any takers for the early because it was shutting down. South Narrabeen was hosting a couple tow teams, but the size wasn’t remarkable. About the same as the biggest ones at Dee Why I’d say. Saw one of the PWCs go over the falls (see pics below). Fortunately rider and machine seemed none the worse for it.
The mal crew were on it at Collaroy where, as the pic below shows, they were getting waist to chest high lines.
Tide hits high at around 1040 and drops to low at about 1615.
Wind is WSW as I write this but is supposed to be southerly before going SW late.
Swell should stick around for the next 48 hours or so, but the models show it gradually decreasing through the weekend – but it doesn’t look as though it’ll go flat…
Have yourself a good one!
Weather Situation
A low pressure trough in the northern Tasman Sea has moved further away from the coast. A high pressure system moves south of the Bight and extends a ridge over most of the state. The high pressure ridge should strengthen during the week and the high pressure system is expected to be centred near Tasmania over the weekend.
